Comm 1/3/73 Approve Mrs. Bea~ wondere~ whether the study should include parking limitations on City street;s ~n those ~n~tances where aufos are parked for an extended period of time ' that ~s, at what po~nt are they considered "abaondoned." ' . Vote was taken on the motion as s.~atet:!._ Mot.~_o.nc:~r!..i_e~___~~ilf!O_~l.y~..__ __ Council Bill No. 151 - Amending Section 5.990 of City Code and adding Section 5.285 re: Off-s~reet Parking of Motor Vehicles, was submitted and read the first time by council bill number and title only, there being no councilman present requesting that. it be read in full. Assistant Manager reviewed purpose for the proposed ordinance and advised that City Attorney gave the opinion that the ordinance would apply on any City operated parking lot where an agent is placed for management such as Diamond Parking. It applies to all City-controlled unmetered parking lots and would extend the remedy of the "boot." Councilman Hershner said he did not foresee its application to the 10th and Oak Overpark and wondered wh~ther the "boot" would be used for "overtime" violations. Assistant Manager re- plied that it is felt use of the "boot" would be less expensive to the violator then towing expense. Its use will be controlled; unpaid fees or unpaid parking tickets will be verified to show there is in fact a violation of ordinances. Primary need for use of the "boot" is in those instances where permit fees for parR:ing on City lots have not been paid for an extended period of time: In answer to Mrs. Beal, Assistant Manager said there is legislation already in existence to allow use of the "boot" on metered lots. Councilwoman Campbell asked if the ordinance spells out length of time a car is parked before it can be booted. Assistant Manager replied that this ordinance provides only that a car can be booted if there are unpaid permit charges, outstanding citations, or unpaid fines. Mrs. Beal moved seconded by ,M~. W,illiams that the, bill be re.adthe. .second time by council bill number only', with unanimous consent of the Council, and that enact- ment be considered at this time. Motion carried unanimously and the bill was read the second time by council bill number only. Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Williams that the bill be approved and given final passage.

Rezone from R-l to RG area on northwest corner ofl7th 'and Chambers (Cedar Lane Company) - Applicant originally requested RP ZOnilJg on properties now zoned RG and R-l. Planning Commission recommended rezoning the R-l portion to RG and leaving all as Garden Apartment Residential District. Planning Director noted history of controversy in this area when the existing clinic was allowed. Commission was concerned about spread of commercially-zoned property and the fact that the RP zone would allow many types of professional offices and certain commercial uses not compatible with the neighborhood. The I Comm I recommended RG zone would allow expansion of the clinic desired by the applicant.l/3/73 ~his expansion could be accomplished under conditional use permit restrictions BUb Hrng ~n the RG category, Planning Director said, to protect residential properties !' through landscaping and control of parking areas; this in response to inquiries ' . t.rom _~o.IlEC;~l!!'~l1_ .~urray a1!d., ~i~):!~1lIS' ~___,_._._____ . _ __ . _ . Councilman Murray asked the.staff's feeling with regard to R-l and R-2 zones in this general area. Planning Director said the Commission feels C-2 on 11th to R-2 on 12th to lesser density farther south are appropriate uses for this area for some time. There is no specific plan to rezone additional property in that area. The R-2 zone for these properties on the '-S-outh side of 12th is deemed appropriate transitional use and compatible with. the surrounding R-l Council Bill No. 152 - Rezoning to RG the area located at northwest COrner of 17th and Chambers was submitted and read the first time by council bill number and title only, there being no councilman present requesting that it be read in full. 3 1/8/73 - 3
